Andrew, you are a true artisan. The way that you stack the stones and they end up being art. They provide accent to the plain stone walls around your home. Even when you put stones around a culvert pipe to conceal the pipe!
Andrew.... I know that you know this already. You make the best videos out there. You are so down to earth and simple in the way you do things and carry out your tasks. Enough said.
Andrew, I have noticed from watching so many of your videos that you like to back right up to your last pile dumped and then raise dump all the way without moving. I want you to watch this video very carefully and learn why that is not a good idea some of the time like, dumping heavy boulders. With boulders your hinging tail gate from bottom so you need to give it plenty room to fall free and unobstructed by boulders. I've always had a kinesthetic relationship with trucks and heavy equipment. Every truck company or equipment place I drove for said I treated their equipment better than they did however it was because I never abused or knowingly hurt the equipment. Like nature I always respected how they felt. Maybe a little crazy but it worked for me even when I was 19 years old and it still works at 68 as my 1994 Lexus LS400 is still running and looking great. Your the best Andrew and the future for now, always be the student!
Love the slow motion dumping 😎👊🏻👍🏻 And the slow motion rock 🪨 dropping didn’t know the tailgate could open two different ways love the pose at the end lol 😂
Andy, that Ford is the back bone of your business. You've got a nice shop. Rebuild that tailgate bottom the professional way, no piece-meal hack jobs. She deserves it .......
If you want to have to fix it very often, then you can push that truck harder. Andrew doesn't care about breaking anything, since he knows that he can fix anything !
Wow... That is a great deal! I am located in NC. I hope to find a deal like that around here. I am looking for those exact same size boulders to build the gated entrance to my property. You did a great job.
Noob question: Why do you keep the tailgate open while dropping the boulders? It seems to only wears the truck's structure and chain. Is it to protect the wheels of the truck?
Hugo Teixeira you couldn't open the tailgate from the bottom (as if dumping gravel), the boulders are too big to fit threw the opening. The other option would be to take the tailgate off, which is more work.
I have a dump truck pretty close to yours, rigged a side-opener on the tail-gate. Basically allows for normal dumping and spreading, but will side-swing when dumping stumps, boulders, concrete tear-out etc. which won't fit under the gate frame in the normal configuration. This vid kinda shows how it works, can just have pins instead of a fancier latch system. Pretty easy to build/add, and saves the gate and back end from undue wear and tear. th-cam.com/video/Yosf6k4Dqfk/w-d-xo.html
Doing it the way you are doing it is about the best really because it gets it out farther away from the back of the truck. Other wise ripping off mud flaps tearing up hitch and light plug etc. been there done that. I do have barn door on the tailgate as well but usually I try just lower the gate and raise it slowly. So all good man. Good video.

Andrew... I have no idea, yet you seem to keep your cool. I would have been pissed about the tailgate. love your videos!!
Stuff breaks all the time, getting pissed doesn't help anything. Thanks.
@@AndrewCamarata - Damn straight! Great answer!
Andrew could build a skyscraper all by himself. He's one hard working machine, nothing can hold him back.
Whoa those boulders are hard on the truck! Still fun to watch! Keep up the great vids!😁
The Ford sure is tough. Thanks for posting.
man ... you punish your truck sometimes

Holly Cow!, That is One Tough Truck!!
I love watching you work... you motivate me to get off my ass.... and it's working !
Thanks, that's good.

That was super fast, I did not ever finish my coffee. Nice job.
That's what ploughing snow 15 hours per day for days on end gets you!!
That truck is a bloody BEAST!
Andrew you are a natural when it comes to moving dirt and rock, and trees. LOL
It's either put there by God or installed by Andy C. Both are beautiful !
Thank you , Andrew .
They are big big rocks. Lovely wall.
Andrew, you rok n roll man. I love all skill of you . good job bro...

Great work man
Hi Andrew .... I have a F800 also , I though I was being to hard on it but now I know , I'm not ... Thanks

Nice boulders
Andrew, great sound track dude...
Man, that's some big rock!
It’s peaceful working by yourself what size machine and how heavy were the boulders
Impressive! Thanks for the video. How much did that cost you? how long did it take?
Checkit TV that was for a customer. I was there a few days. Most of the time was trucking in material. I can't remember what i charged him.
What's with the two rocks left in the middle?
They were for benches, they ended up getting moved.
very nice looking
If you purchased the stone, what was the cost per truck load?
I think I paid $150 for those loads of boulders. Loaded in my truck.
Stone lasts. Tombs last because of stone.
That is flipping awesome... Is that on your property....
No drainage behind the wall?!.... sweet video though!
what would it take to fix that darn tail gate so it would STAY ON?
What I do not understand is how you can handle the levers in the excavator when you drive so fast.
thanks 4 video. be kind.
Was this on a customers property or on a family member's/ yours?
Customer.
@@AndrewCamarata Figured
Was there a reason you didn't put any gravel down behind the wall before you added the fill?
Try building a natural stone wall with a old 1953 Farmall Super C WITH A MANURE BUCKET LOADER....Now there's a challenge for you.
Well done.
Is your truck still in tac after all that work
ottimo lavoro 👍💪👌
Which way do you want the water to run when it rains? Towards or away from the rock wall?
On this one, it runs away, but than runs off the hill on the left side.
that guy has a great place to go and eat some Food
YOU ROCK
👍👍👍
Andrew... What was the cost for all of those boulders?
I think I was paying about $150 a load.
Wow... That is a great deal! I am located in NC. I hope to find a deal like that around here. I am looking for those exact same size boulders to build the gated entrance to my property. You did a great job.
Usually quarry's have rocks like that. Usually they keep breaking them smaller into gravel.
How do you not break your tailgate doing that ?
That tailgate is tough.
Those rocks look they are big enough to snap that gate like it was made out of pine. Amazing.
What’s you’re out look on things brakein off?
Scott Klos brakein?
Where’s the money pic from the front
This may have been before I had a drone.
poor little truck 😳
Is that the Ashokan in the distance or the Hudson?
Yes.
Wow .
👍
I wrecked my car carrying stones in it.

The landscape architect at work. Do you start with a a plan or does it just evolve .
I kind knew what to do there. Nothing was on paper though. But sometimes good ideas come up as the project evolves.
Get im'm and work'm if they break you can fix'um, don't worry be happy,where's your dog's, See Ya
😁
Really don,t like video like this when you don,t do a recap and show the job after done with it.
👍
